About

Amanda Jiamin Ong is a rising leader at the intersection of bioinspired materials and soft robotics, whose work is defining new pathways for adaptive, intelligent systems. Her research focuses on engineering piezoelectricity in sustainable biomaterials and integrating two-dimensional (2D) materials into soft robotic platforms. In her highly cited 2024 paper (17 citations), Ong pioneered a strategy to promote piezoelectricity in amino acids through fluorination, addressing a critical challenge in designing biodegradable, high-performance materials for sensors and energy harvesters. This work opens the door to eco-friendly, bio-compatible electronics. Complementing this, her 2025 study (6 citations) explores how 2D materials enable adaptive functionalities in soft robotics, with applications spanning tactile perception, health monitoring, and human-machine interfaces. By bridging materials science, device fabrication, and machine learning, Ong is advancing the next generation of wearable and robotic technologies. Her contributions are particularly notable for their focus on sustainability and multifunctionality, positioning her as a key innovator in creating materials that are not only high-performing but also environmentally responsible.
